Are you self-educated or did you take lessons? The acid rock vibes are really strong, but there are blues touches that bring to mind Tony McPhee of Groundhogs. That’s the way psychedelic is, isn’t it? I’m honored if you just enjoy our music. Our music does not have any message, thoughts, or ideology.
